H: “Well-- no hard feelings-- as long as you promise me it won’t happen again.”Ximenos and Titus: “It won’t.”H: “Good. The last words your father spoke to me-- were meant for you, Titus. He wanted you to know that-- the art of the warrior is not to kill-- but to destroy the forces of evil. I hope you’ll never forget that.”

John Schulian (head-writer): "One thing that really caught my eye in the movies was Kevin Sorbo, who is immensely likable, and while he's not Robert DeNiro, he's not a lox. He's absolutely wonderful with the emotional moments. We did an episode last year called 'The March to Freedom,' where he visits his family's graves, and I have to tell you, a chill went down my back when I saw him do it. He found something inside himself, and was really able to bring it out. It was very touching, and I don't think there are too many actors in the action genre who are capable of finding that kind of emotion. He also has a wonderful, sly sense of humor that comes across."

Xena Warrior Princess wants to take down the "Son of Zeus," and plans to use his best friend, Iolaus to do it by getting him to fall in love with her. Her devious plot threatens to destroy the friendship between Iolaus and Hercules.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0599827/

IOLAUS: You know-- you could have caught her-- if you hadn't saved me. HERCULES: You're a little more important than she is. IOLAUS: I don't know which hurts worse-- my head or-- knowing how stupid I was. HERCULES: It always helps to know what you're fighting for before you start fighting.

Lucy Lawlees: "I remember the very first day I played Xena. I had only been playing the part [Lyla] for 20 days before that, but I came on set, and it came to the make-up and I said, "I'm not ready for this!" and burst into tears! They said, "Oh, you are!". They pushed me up, squeezed me into a costume and pushed me out there and i was fine. But it was that heart-stopping moment where it all came crashing down on me - the weight that I had on my shoulders."

............................................................................................................Michael Hurst: "I really enjoyed working with Bruce Campbell, who directed 'The Vanishing Dead'. We got on famously, and of course, I remember seeing Bruce in the Evil Dead movies. It was great to work with someone like that. He was fantastic, because you'd set up a shot, and then he'd come up to you and mumble something in your ear like, [imitating Campbell's voice] 'The money is on the shot here, so make sure you give it to me there; anywhere else, I don't care!' He understood it from the acting side, and it was great because you knew where he was looking and what he was looking for, and he communicated it very clearly."

.............................................................................................................Xena: “Go on, finish it. Prove you’re the greatest warrior.”Hercules: “Killing isn’t the only way of proving you’re a warrior, Xena. And I think you know that.”Xena: “What do you intend to do?”Hercules: “We’re going after your army. Why don’t you join us?”Xena: “No.”(...)Hercules: “Let her go! She has a fight of her own to deal with.”

Kevin Sorbo: "I like the story, I like the episode, and it's funny how it all came together. At that time they didn't know 'Xena' would be made into a series. I mean, Lucy was a last-minute replacement. And she's perfect for the part - Lucy "is" Xena!" (02.98 "Hercules, the Legendary Journeys: The Offical Companion" by Robert Weisbrot)

Lucy Lawless: "Kevin got 10 stitches on the back of his head from a metal sword [filming "The Warrior Princess"]. It was a really nasty hit actually I saw it on video, and next week I did it to him myself and I just felt terrible!" (14.08.96 WGN TV)

XENA: "I have done terrible things. I've killed so many men, that I'll never wash their blood from my hands."HERCULES: "You've already started. You saved that baby."XENA: "But when you help people, you honor the wife and children that Hera stole from you. There is nothing in my whole life that moves me that way."HERCULES: "You're wrong. There's the goodness in your heart."

11-08-01. From Aarne Rantala. Xena's chakram is completely absent in this episode. She has just her sword and dagger hanging from her belt, and in the battle at the diamond mine it is a dagger she throws into Darphus' chest - not her chakram. http://www.whoosh.org/epguide/herk/h113_unchained.html

HERCULES: “ King Midas-- promise me one thing.”Midas: “What would that be?”HERCULES: “That you will never-- gamble with your blessings.”Flax: “We promise.”Midas: “Oh, we promise.”HERCULES: “Good-- then you’ll always be rich.”

Here we find really nice and neat touch of the screenwriters, not for the first time they are using (as in the Greek mythology) meaningful names. Voluptuous = fleshly, sensual.Evil Voluptua was played by the real-life wife of Michael Hurst actress Jennifer Ward-Lealand.http://actorsorbo.narod.ru/sorbo_eng/HTLJ_eng/HTLJ2s_eng/HTLJ2s_comm_eng.htm#20

.............................................................................................................Democles: “If I tell him what I just told you, he’ll kill me.”H: “He’s in no position to kill anyone.”Democles: “I don’t think I can face him.”H: “How can you face yourself if you don’t?”

http://xena.yuku.com/topic/10454/Herc-Ep-Of-The-Week-21-The-Outcast-With-Lucy#.VwMPm6QrLIV.........................................................................................................Lucy Lawless: They brought back the Lyla character. Kevin couldn't let this go by, so he slipped in a little ad lib about, "doesn't she remind you of Xena?"

.............................................................................................................H: “ It’s easy to sit in judgment, isn’t it?All you have to do is run your mouths. You don’t even have toknow anything about the people you’re judging.”

(...)

H: “But none of can be sure that you’ll never face the sametragedy. It could happen to anybody.”

(...)

H: “That’s why I’m asking you to show them the same compassionthat you would want.”

I: “Hercules-- you gotta listen to me. This is not just about you and Demetrius. There’s some bigger force at work here. And weak as you are-- it may kill you.”H: “That’ll be a death-- worth dying.”I: “Look-- you won’t even stand a fighting chance!”H: “Get out of my way; I’m going after her. Ahh!”I: “Not without me, you’re not.”H: “Good-- because I don’t think I could make it by myself.”

Kevin and I got to play some really emotional stuff. (,,,) I remember when we were playing it on that day, and we were both close to tears. That scene stands out in my memory.

Hades: “I can wipe their minds of all the memories of your visit-- if you think it’ll make it easier for them.”Hercules: “They’ll be completely happy again? Then do it.”Hades: “I wish I could do the same for you.”Hercules: “No. On this side, memories are all we really own. I know we’ll be together again, some day. I want to hold onto that. Thank you.”

Q: What scenes in "Hercules" were the most difficult emotionally for you to do? -- Kevin Sorbo: It was when I saw my family, thinking they were dead and I'd never see them again. I picked up my little daughter and well, it was the hardest emotionally. http://actorsorbo.narod.ru/sorbo_eng/HTLJ_eng/HTLJ2s_eng/HTLJ2s_comm_eng.htm#26

H: “That’s all I wanted to know. This fight wasn’t necessary. Now, where’d you get the vase?”Bartender: “A pushy little man-- he called himself Salmoneus.”H: “Salmoneus. Excuse me? Next time? Try a little communication. It won’t hurt quite so much.”

Visual effects supervisor Kevin O'Neill: Earlier this year, we had Hercules fight a character made of fire. For that episode, I had a guy dressed in a green suit, and choreographed all the action with him and Kevin's stunt guy. We then filmed it with the green suit guy fighting Kevin, then had Kevin do the fight by himself.

I: “How could a sweet, innocent guy like Typhon get hooked up with Echidna?”H: “Go figure. I guess there’s someone for everyone.”I: “Yeah but-- those two?”H: “He says Echidna’s a completely different woman if he’s around her. It’s when he’s gone that her mean streak starts showing through.”

Michael Hurst's real life broken right arm (he was injuried during filming Xena: Warrior Princess episode "Prometheus") was written into the script on the set during filming of "Cast a Giant Shadow".http://actorsorbo.narod.ru/sorbo_eng/HTLJ_eng/HTLJ2s_eng/HTLJ2s_comm_eng.htm#28

Neither Typhon nor Echidna was harmed during the production of this motion picture. They went on to lead lond and happy lives with their adopted family. However, attempts to reinflate Pylon were unsuccessful.

HERCULES: “He’s no demon. He’s a man.”JASON: “What do you know about it?”HERCULES: “I hit him. That’s what I know about it? He is flesh and blood, just like you and me.”JASON: “No-- the gods would never send a mortal to destroy me!”HERCULES: “The gods don’t have anything to _do_ with this! You’re haunting yourself, Jason.”

The core of the episode bears a strong resemblance to one of Kev's favourite movies - "Casablanca", in which the main hero falls in love with the woman, who is certain that her husband, one of the leaders of antifascist Resistance, died in a concentration camp. When the husband appears to be alive, the hero decided not to break that couple.http://actorsorbo.narod.ru/sorbo_eng/HTLJ_eng/HTLJ2s_eng/HTLJ2s_comm_eng.htm#33
